Lego Beowulf and the Web of Hands and Hearts, for the Danish national museum ...Michael Edson
Ā
This talk was delivered at the awards ceremony for the 2012 Bikuben Foundation Danish Museum Prize in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Ideas about what museums are, who they serve, and the role they play in society are changing with dramatic speed, driven largely by social media and the participatory culture of global networks.
Denmark supports world-class museums, with remarkable collections, expert staff, and beautiful architecture. But how can museum leaders balance the traditional concepts of organizational mission and outcomes with the disruptive possibilities being demonstrated by those who love and use museums in new ways?

Business Social Networking - part 1: cultural and historical perspective #BSN...Roberto Lofaro
Ā
This book is based on two drafts/concepts (on social networking and marketing, and social networking and security) that I had registered with WGA in 2008, before giving a non-exclusive license to part of the material to contribute to a marketing book, and preparing to contribute to a book on networking (technology and methods; eventually my participation was scuttled), extensively revised and updated in 2013.
The second volume, initially forecast for 2015, was not published due to a potential conflict of interest (a contract started in 2015 that ended in 2018)
Therefore, it will be revised and published in late 2018, with a focus on social networking and marketing, six months after the enforcement of GDPR (i.e. forecast for early December 2018).
This short book (or extended essay) is just part of a series of collected thoughts and analysis.
Focus: the impact of social and technological change on traditional management practices.
Aim: to raise informed questions, not to provide answers

Decentralized Social Networks - WebVisions 2009David Recordon
Ā
One theme of 2008 that has led into 2009 is the idea of social networks transforming from monolithic individual sites to peer sites that share people, content, information.
Technologies such as OpenID, OAuth, OpenSocial and Portable Contacts can be combined to help create this vision, though what will it actually look like when it works?
This talk will look at the philosophical changes being led by companies like MySpace, Google, Plaxo and Six Apart, their impact on social networks like Facebook which traditionally haven't embraced this vision, and how these technologies are being used to make this vision reality.
A Social Web Intro at the Internet Identity WorkshopDavid Recordon

Learning from Apache to create Open SpecificationsDavid Recordon
Ā
I should really sync audio to these slides since most of the information is not on the slides.
Open source development has reached a stable and remarkable maturity. With services like SourceForge and Google Code for hosting projects, the Open Source Initiative to vet and curate Open Source licenses, and organizations like the FSF and Apache where like-minded developers can work together to build sustainable and open communities around Open Source projects, and the support of hundreds of thousands of developers and major corporations alike, the success of open source is firmly established.
Yet when we turn our attention away from open source and instead to specifications and standards for the open web, much of this infrastructure doesn't yet exist. Formal standards bodies may enforce interoperability, but they don't always guarantee that a standard is freely implementable by everyone or that the development community is open to all potential contributors. As software development is increasingly centered on protocols and formats instead of simply source code, many newer initiatives, like Microformats, OpenID, OAuth and OpenSocial, have had to each invest time and money reinventing the legal and organizational infrastructure required to ensure that the specifications they create are open and their communities are healthy and run in meritocratic fashions.
Isn't there a better way? What can we learn from the open source movement that will help us create open specifications for the web?
The newly created Open Web Foundation is tackling this exact question by borrowing heavily from the proven model established by the Apache Foundation. This talk discusses the Open Web Foundation's progress so far, our goals for the future, and how you can get involved.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Ā
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as āpredictable inferenceā.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
Ā
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an āinfrastructure container kubernetes guyā, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefitās both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Ā
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

ā¢ A long tail of social networks
is evolving
9. Social Applications
ā¢ Each with a few great features

ā¢ Creating combined value
Combined value as they don't compete to do everything, rather compete within their area of
expertise
10. social networks have your friends
- You've spent time deļ¬ning them in each one you use
12. social applications
- But it isn't Dopplr's fault
- Hacks such as scraping address books
- No current way to get the social graph without asking for it, choosing a proprietary
platform, or only riding on the back of these social networks

- None of these services interoperate (with rare exceptions of RSS support)
- Not a new problem
- OpenSocial is promising, though both Facebook and Netvibes UWA are successful

28. - Decentralized identity
- Reduce the number of accounts
- Strongly protect your OpenIDs
- Session dedicated to OpenID Wednesday afternoon
29. HOSTS
- Examples of non-emerging technologies
- Had to FTP a single quot;HOSTSquot; ļ¬le around to resolve all names
- Couldn't get to new sites until they were in the ļ¬le and you fetched the updated ļ¬le
- Didn't scale
30. DNS
- Changes automatically propagate
- Made sysadmins happy
- More complicated than a white-space line-break separated ļ¬le, but it scales
31. Segregated Messaging
- Most successful example of centralization -> decentralization
- 1960s demonstrated at MIT, required all users be on the same server
32. Email
SMTP as you know it today
- Took until the 1980s for SMTP to become popular
- Couldn't imagine a World without interoperable email
33. Centralization
- Social networks today are generally centralized
- Remember the business model of quot;lock-inquot;
- By making open platforms via open technologies, the social networks can become
decentralized
34. Centralization
(Why can't a LiveJournal user friend an Orkut user?)
- Social networks today are generally centralized
- Remember the business model of quot;lock-inquot;
- By making open platforms via open technologies, the social networks can become
decentralized
35. Centralization
(Why can't a LiveJournal user friend an Orkut user?)
(If Orkut supported OpenID and RSS they could!)
- Social networks today are generally centralized
- Remember the business model of quot;lock-inquot;
- By making open platforms via open technologies, the social networks can become
decentralized
37. it's harder
(but we always get there)
- Scale
- Data duplication / re-entry
- Business decisions (geeks want to do the right thing)
- Interoperability standards
38. quot;Either social networks will keep their walls up
to force individuals to choose, or they will open
up in the hope that they'll get the
customer even if their competitor
does, too.quot;
O'Reilly Radar
- Dopplr, don't go there for everything
- Not trying to steal users, let them go there
- This is not a zero-sum game
- Traditional network eects
39. quot;A lot that you have heard here is about
platforms and who is going to win. That is
Paleolithic thinking. The Web has already won.
The web is the Platform.quot;
Jeff Huber - Google (Web 2.0 Summit '07)
- There won't be just one walled platform, interop is a must
- This battle was tried in the 1990s and was lost
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML
- There will be many social networks and social applications
40. quot;As long as people feel that if they don't like
what we're doing they can just switch, then that
keeps us honest and keeps everybody else
honest as well.quot;
Eric Schmidt (Web 2.0 Summit '06)
- This year has had a trend reinforcing decentralization
- With the move toward services in the cloud, data import/export is increasingly important
- Good to see the large services understand this
41. Open Data is increasingly
important as services
move online
Tim O'Reilly (OSCON '07)
- Hosted services change the quot;openquot; game
- Data is as important as source
42. quot;Proprietary platforms based on the web are
ice cubes. They can, for a time, suspend
themselves above the web at large. But over
time, they only ever melt into the water. And
maybe they make it better when they do.quot;
Anil Dash - Six Apart (Dashes.com 2007)
- Embracing open technologies earlier will get you more later when others catch up
- Proprietary platforms, like tried in the 1990s, don't survive forever
43. So to Recap...
ā¢ I like social networks and social applications
ā¢ I like my friends
ā¢ I hate ļ¬nding my friends again
ā¢ Decentralized technologies end up winning
ā¢ The web is the platform
ā¢ OpenSocial allows light-weight applications
to run on potentially thousands of social
networks (more detailed talk at 15:50)
44. social graph
(another type of user generated/owned data)
- Social graph already exists as Zuckerberg said
- Everyone is having to map it out
- Every user is declaring their own maps
- The user maps are THEIR data, not the services they're giving it to
55. How are they open?
ā¢ Open standards
(RSS, Atom, XFN, FOAF, hCard, OpenID)
ā¢ Publish, not just aggregate
ā¢ Manage my friends across networks and
republish them for social applications
- So via Lifestreams I can comment on a blog and have it published on the blog
59. OAuth
(emerging standard; quot;your valet key for the webquot;)
- Standardized existing duplicate protocols from Google, Yahoo!, AOL, and Microsoft
- Remove the need to ask for email provider passwords
60. What is OAuth?
ā¢ Distributed authorization
ā¢ Open community speciļ¬cation
ā¢ Converging proprietary speciļ¬cations from
Flickr, Google,Yahoo!, AOL, and Microsoft
ā¢ With the involvement of Flickr,Yahoo!, and
Google!
- Companies had very similar specs
- Wouldn't use each others
- Would use an open version from the community
- Really important for sharing non-public data
78. So how can we all make this happen?
- Today you'll be laughed at if you say you're a blog site and have no RSS/Atom
- Want to get to the same thing for social networks oering an analogous form of data
interop
- To make it just as easy to move it, share it, mash it up as it is with blogs
79. markup and share data
- Microformats, FOAF, RSS, Atom, etc
- Format wars don't beneļ¬t users, we don't care where the curly braces go
82. put the people in control
- History shown
- Network eects as David said
- Decentralization
83. privacy is important
(As seen on Facebook and others)
- Just fully public or fully private doesn't cut it
- Share with your friends
84. Email Hashing
ā¢ david@sixapart.com becomes
b448b79a2380daec5578d8df767c7b639c745250
ā¢ Protects against SPAM
ā¢ Doesn't protect against account linking
ā¢ Six Apart doesn't share your hash if you're not
sharing you're email
- Have to think about all aspects of privacy when running services
85. provide context outside your walls
if users want to link accounts, allow it...they may even link to
your service from another proļ¬le
86. Who does this right with XFN?
ā¢ Wordpress
ā¢ Twitter
ā¢ Pownce
ā¢ LiveJournal
ā¢ Google Proļ¬les
ā¢ TypePad
ā¢ Movable Type, LiveJournal, and Vox coming soon
- Markup both on the service and outside the service
- Context matters for XFN rel-me
88. make your network
more accessible
You can't ļ¬ght it forever...David beats Goliath
- As seen with content, services will just scrape you if they want it
- Proactively sharing while respecting privacy reduces your own server load
- Talk of nasty hacks within the browser for uncooperative services
89. Real-time Stream of
Relationship Changes
http://updates.elsewhere.im
coming soon
- As a way to make more accessible
- Allows real-time relationship changes to be noted across services
- Don't have to quot;pingquot; every news feed service that you're now friends with me
90. We Have the Tools
ā¢ Identity
ā¢ Data formats
ā¢ Distributed authorization OAuth
ā¢ Distributed applications OpenSocial
ā¢ Translators
ā¢ Open aggregators
ā¢ Realtime data Streams, PubSub
91. Now we all need to weave them together!
- Watch for developments in this space
- quot;social graphquot; as a tag
- O'Reilly Radar, TechCrunch
92. Questions?
